The leading voice stars for Pixar’s next original movie have been announced.
Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer will work together in Disney-Pixar’s Onward.
Set in what Pixar described as a “suburban fantasy,” the animated film follows two teenage elf brothers, voiced by Holland and Pratt, who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still magic left in the world. The two worked together in the past on Avengers: Infinity War.
“At Pixar, we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth,” director Dan Scanlon said in a statement. “This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother.”
“Chris brings equal parts huge heart and fantastic humor to his character,” said Rae, Onward producer, who added Spencer “can do it all. We’re especially excited about the depth as well as humor that she brings to her character.”
Holland “has an infectious charm and sincerity that makes you root for him in every character he plays,” Scanlon said and added that “there is no one funnier than Julia. But she also brings a warmth and loving side to her character.”
Onward is scheduled to hit theaters March 6, 2020.
